I have spoken with David Krikorian the independent candidate for the 2nd Congressional District in Ohio to get to the bottom of a whisper campaign against him that has been circling conservative circles in southwest Ohio. David donated money to Democratic candidate Victoria Wulsin during her last election against Jean Schmidt, and many conservatives have wondered “Why would a conservative like David Krikorian give money to a liberal like Vic Wulsin?”

The answer David gave me to the above question is one that I believe clearly validates that he is in fact a true honorable American conservative. The answer David gave is this: “I supported Vic Wulsin because Jean Schmidt refuses to acknowledge the slaughter of MY FAMILY and 1.5 million other Christian Armenians at the hands of Muslim Turks and she has taken BLOOD money to deny the Genocide.”

For those of you that don't know in 1919 the Turks began a process of slaughtering Armenians in what today is now Turkey. In fact, Adolph Hitler himself was quoted as saying “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” Hitler used what Turkey did as his road map to the Jewish holocaust.

On May 22, 2008 Jean Schmidt took a contribution from Turkish Coalition USA PAC, another in a long line of contributions that total close to $30,000. That same day she gave a speech on the house floor praising Ataturk, where she stated: “May 19 is a very important day when it all began. On this day a great leader began his journey, a vision became reality and a great nation was born. We should all learn a lesson from this man's life. A leader with a vision coupled with determination can lay the roots for a great future. Turkey's neighbors who today wrestle with their own beginnings should take note.”

Jean Schmidt has continued to deny the Genocide of the Christian Armenians and praised the person that created a road map for future terrorists.

Here is what Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan had to say about the Armenian Genocide:

“The Armenian Genocide has been a prelude to the horrors which followed: the two world wars, innumerable regional conflicts and deliberately organized campaigns of extermination that have ended the lives of millions of believers.” Pope John Paul II (September 26, 2001)

“Like the Genocide of the Armenians before it, and the Genocide of the Cambodians which followed it and like too many other such persecutions of too many other peoples the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten.” Ronald Reagan (April 22, 1981)

The bottom line is that Jean Schmidt refuses to recognize the Armenian Genocide and she has taken campaign contributions from Muslims to be the mouthpiece of their agenda. Today Islamic terrorists thrive on this line of thinking. By ignoring what happened and refusing to recognize the lessons of the past we are all doomed to repeat these horrors. One of the root causes of the terror threat we all face today is allowing this line of thought to infiltrate our society all the way to the highest levels of elected officials.

With people like Jean Schmidt in office every American faces an increased treat from the radical Islamic terrorists. Jean Schmidt WILL TAKE THEIR MONEY and continue to be a voice for them. We MUST send her a message that this is not acceptable in America today and vote her out of office on Tuesday.
